swedish massage at the marbella massage centre
Swedish massage is probably the most common type of massage and the one that comes to most people's minds when they think of a massage.
The Swedish massage technique has been around for over 200 years and was originally developed in Stockholm. A Swedish massage is a fantastic way of relaxing your entire body, the muscles of the body will be rubbed using long strokes that are applied in the direction of the blood returning to the heart.
One of the main benefits of a Swedish massage is that it increases the oxygen content of the blood and helps decrease the bodies toxins which all lead to an overall improved flexibility, blood circulation whilst also reducing overall body tension.
Additional methods employed during a Swedish massage include using the hands and palms to apply circular pressure, general kneading of the muscles and tapping, stretching and bending of the muscles.
Oils or creams are used with a Swedish massage to reduce friction, stimulate the skin and to heat the bodies' muscles. A blend of essential oils can be chosen to further enhance your Swedish massage and these include;
- Toning oil - Cypress, Grapefruit and Mint are used in this blend and aims to improve your blood flow and relieve heaviness and any leg fatigue
- Artioil - Rosemary, Juniperberry and Camomile in this blend aim to release any muscular tension and rheumatic pains
